Cabells publishes report on journal decision-making data
Cabells – a US-based information services company – has launched a white paper providing insights to researchers, librarians, and aligned professionals on how its Journalytics platform can optimise crucial decision-making.
Working from prior research underlining the importance of decision-making when it comes to choosing the right journal for a researcher’s work – which is often the single most important decision they will make in their career – experienced research and social media professional Andy Tattersall has compiled the white paper looking at two specific data points provided as part of the Journalytics suite, altmetrics and citations sentiment data.
Cabells has always had a stated mission to provide a wide range of trusted data for its customers to optimise the journal decision-making process, and increasingly understanding the wider impact and influence of those journal choices has become more important. Using in-depth analysis and case studies, the white paper explores what these newer metrics mean in terms of academic and societal impact, guiding researchers on how to consider these data in terms of their career and the wider publishing context.
These data points – taken from third-party providers Altmetric and scite.ai – are part of the Journalytics suite of databases, including Academic, Medicine and the new STEM products which index 13,000, 9,000, and 7,000 journals respectively.
Commenting on the white paper publication, Cabells Chief Commercial Officer Simon Linacre said: “This white paper marks an important stage for Cabells, as it is the first of a number of key reports we plan to publish in the future. Whether you are an author, librarian, research manager or funder, Cabells has always strived to offer best-in-class data to guide decision-making around journal publications, and this report shows that using our products can add real value to that process.”
